Researchblogging.org is a non-profit initiative, and provides in a web-based gathering of posts from weblogs on science. Not all posts are gathered ('aggregated') though, only the ones that explicitly address research that has been published in a peer-reviewed journal. In that, it distinguishes clearly from similar (collections of) scientists' blogs, for everything else but the research itself is left out. This is achieved by having bloggers to administer their posts on the researchblogging.org website manually, after which some PHP-code is provided. This code is added to the blog-post, resulting in a bibliographic reference to the article that is discussed, as well as the aggregation of the article to the researchblogging database. For me, this results in a very interesting collection of blog-posts, that are nicely categorised and stored in a searchable database accessible though the web. And this is where the new version of researchblogging.org becomes really interesting, because next to a visual update, new features have been added. Bloggers now can categorise their posts manually, making them easier to find by prospective readers. ]]> http://www.rensenieuwenhuis.nl/researchbloggingorg/feed/ 2 http://www.rensenieuwenhuis.nl/paradoxical-negative-spill-over-of-catholics-attitudes-on-induced-abortion/ http://www.rensenieuwenhuis.nl/paradoxical-negative-spill-over-of-catholics-attitudes-on-induced-abortion/#comments Thu, 28 Aug 2008 08:20:22 +0000 Rense Nieuwenhuis http://www.rensenieuwenhuis.nl/?p=547 positive one is regarding induced abortion. ]]> http://www.rensenieuwenhuis.nl/paradoxical-negative-spill-over-of-catholics-attitudes-on-induced-abortion/feed/ 2
